Chapter 109 Detoxification
After taking the decoction for three days, on the last night when the poison in Ji Yucang's body began to attack, Shen Ning made him take the last bowl of antidote and administered acupuncture to help him drive out the toxin from his body.
Shen Ning had been busy for more than two hours in the afternoon, from decoction to blood collection and acupuncture. By the time Ji Yucang spurted out a mouthful of black blood and lay weakly on the bed, Shen Ning's face was already as pale as paper, and she looked worse than Ji Yucang is still weak.
Raising her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead, Shen Ning gently closed her eyes and held on to the bedside pillar before barely standing still.
His internal organs felt like they were being bitten by thousands of insects, and the pain was so painful that his eyesight turned black.
Shen Ning could hardly bear it. She was gritting her teeth and enduring the severe pain, but in the end she found that the waves of pain were getting worse and had no tendency to stop.
A pair of strong arms lifted her up and laid her flat on the bed. Before she could react, Shen Ning felt cold and sweaty. There was a warmth on her lips, and then the smell of blood filled her mouth.
She opened her eyes, and Ji Yucang looked at her with worry on his face. He kept his fingers on his lips, and the blood from his fingertips fell into her mouth drop by drop.
Shen Ning frowned: "What are you doing?"
"I heard that poisonous poisons are bloodthirsty, and only blood can appease them." Ji Yucang stared nervously into Shen Ning's eyes, "Is it any better?"
Shen Ning said nothing, her face turned pale and she felt a little nauseous.
"I know the taste of blood is bad, please bear with it." Ji Yucang quickly spoke to comfort, "I have already invited the doctor."
Shen Ning closed her eyes and endured the severe pain in her body. She couldn't even hear the footsteps coming from outside.
"Your Majesty."
"Come in."
The door was pushed open, and an old doctor with a white beard came in carrying a medicine box and hurried to the bed: "The princess was poisoned?"
Ji Yucang pursed her lips: "She was detoxified for me."
The old doctor was surprised for a moment, and then moved his face: "The princess is really righteous."
Righteousness?
Ji Yucang felt mixed emotions when she thought of the deal Shen Ning had mentioned more than once.
The old doctor was the miracle doctor Xie Tinglan invited from other places for Ji Yucang. He had excellent medical skills and had been trying to find a solution for the poison in Ji Yucang's body for more than half a year.
He knew that the poison was not indestructible, but it was difficult to induce the medicine. In addition to the woman's willingness, she also had to be able to withstand the severe pain when the poison attacked and the blood was drawn, which most women simply could not do.
did not expect……
The old doctor carefully checked Shen Ning's pulse and said with a solemn expression: "The princess is physically stronger than ordinary women, but she has still lost a lot of energy this time. She will need to rest for at least two months."
Ji Yucang asked: "What needs to be done?"
"I'll make a prescription." The old doctor walked aside, and Ling Feng immediately led him to sit down at the table and brought a pen and paper.
The old doctor dipped in ink and wrote the prescription carefully.
Ji Yucang has been sitting on the edge of the bed, his eyes not leaving Shen Ning for a moment, but Shen Ning had to open her eyes and frowned: "Why are you so nervous?"
Ji Yucang held her hand and quietly placed it on his heart: "Feel it."
Shen Ning was slightly startled. Where her palm was close to her, she could feel her heart beating abnormally fast.
Her eyes were subtle and strange: "The dignified Prince Regent was so frightened by this battle that his heart beat faster?"
"I'm worried about you." Ji Yucang's voice was low, with a hint of lingering uneasiness, "Shen Ning, people can't help but be contradictory. They want to live a long life and grow old together with the people they like, but they also worry about whether they will die. The other person’s lifespan…”
"It doesn't matter to me whether I live a long life or not." Shen Ning smiled weakly and palely, "Just make sure that every day of your life is meaningful."
Ji Yucang was silent for a moment and nodded slowly: "You are right."
"Your Majesty." The old doctor turned around and walked over, handing the written prescription to Ji Yucang, "Follow this prescription once a day, warm and tonic. Other meals should be as usual. Don't take supplements indiscriminately."
Ji Yucang took the prescription and asked, "When can the poison be drawn out?"
"We have to wait until the body recovers its strength." The old doctor glanced at Shen Ning who was lying on the bed. "Since the princess knows how to feed poisonous insects, she should also know how to drive them away."
Shen Ning hummed: "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
The old doctor quickly said goodbye and left.
Ji Yucang handed the prescription to Ling Feng: "Buy the medicine according to the prescription. If there is some in the palace, take it out from the warehouse. If you don't have it, go out and buy it. No matter how much money you spend, you must get it no matter how hard it is to get."
Ling Feng frowned: "Your Majesty, the medicines prescribed by the doctor are ordinary supplements. They are a bit expensive, but they are easy to buy and don't require much effort."
Ji Yucang looked at him expressionlessly, Lingfeng's expression tightened, he took the prescription and left.
The moment the door was closed, the whole room fell silent.
"Do you want to go back to Jinlin Courtyard?" Ji Yucang turned around and looked into the room. There were still bloody stains on the floor tiles at the head of the bed. The strong smell of blood had not dissipated, making people feel that the air in the room was not clean.
Shen Ning did not speak immediately, and the severe pain in her body had gradually eased. This was the first time she had experienced this feeling, and it seemed nothing compared to the torture she had suffered.
But the pain in the internal organs is somewhat different from trauma.
But after the pain subsided, a strong sense of exhaustion swept over her, making her eyelids heavy and she couldn't help but close them.
"...Let me sleep for a while first." Shen Ning closed her eyes and said, her voice almost weak, "Just sleep for a while."
"Okay." Ji Yucang tucked her in, his eyes fixed on her pale and weak face, filled with heartache and pity.
He pulled a chair and sat down, holding her hand, and just looked at her, as if he could never see enough.
Li'er...
Ji Yucang held her hand and put it to his lips and kissed it softly. The obsession that had been pressed in his heart for many years burst out and could no longer be concealed.
Shen Ning slept for three hours. She was groggy, half asleep and half awake. She thought she was awake, but she felt like she was being pressed into a dream by a pair of big hands.
Outside the dream, there were a pair of eyes locked on her face, with such sad and sad eyes, and it was as if someone could vaguely hear someone saying in her ears that as long as she could survive, they would not hesitate to lose her life or have no heirs.
Loss of longevity...
No heir...
The sweat on Shen Ning's body was layer upon layer, soaking through several layers of clothes. Her dreams kept coming back and forth, but she couldn't always see them clearly.
When I actually woke up, it was already midnight.
Shen Ning opened her eyes. The light in front of her eyes was dim and soft, not dazzling. She subconsciously raised her hands to cover her eyes, and then slowly opened her eyes again.
"Wake up." A relieved voice came from the side, with a bit of uneasiness about the aftermath of the disaster, "Did you have a nightmare? I see that your face has not been very good, and you can't wake up even if you call..."
Shen Ning turned her head and met a pair of frightened eyes, and couldn't help but be startled.
To be honest, this was the first time she had seen him look like this since she married Ji Yucang. He was no longer as calm as before, nor was he the invincible and powerful person in the rumors. Don't let anyone get close to you.
Just like an ordinary person, he has insecurities and fears, weaknesses and weaknesses.
So real, flesh and blood.
